Is filling seats part of the job?

In reading the news of Nyla Milleson's firing from Missouri State University ("Lady Bears coach fired; sagging attendence, losing record cited," March 19), I was totally blown away by the assertion by Kyle Moats and Clif Smart that one of the reasons for the firing was declining atten­dance.

Until reading this, I was total­ly unaware of the role Milleson had in the creation of the "seat assessment" program.

Good for you, Moats and Smart, it is high time you elim­inated the inventor of that das­tardly program. I was totally un­aware that the women's basket­ball coach had that sort of power at MSU.

I have these three wishes, not in any particular order: 1. That Moats and Smart, who now have taken full ownership of the Lady Bears program, are both looking for moving vans in the near future.

2. That Nyla Milleson lands on her feet.

3. That MSU and the vocal mi­nority of Lady Bears fans get ex­actly the coach and team they deserve.
